Pidherny Recreation Site

The Pidherny Recreation Site is a 620 hectare area located about 12km to the northwest of downtown Prince George. The trail network is managed by the Prince George Cycling Club (PGCC) through an agreement with Recreation Sites and Trails BC. In total, there are 25 mountain bike trails, of which 12 are cross country/all-mountain, and 13 are freeride/downhill specific. Trail difficulty levels range from beginner (8%), with some intermediate trails (42%), to expert (50%). The PGCC has committed substantial funding to improvements of the trail network, with over $78,000 spent in 2013 developing two new trails, one being the club's signature trail, "Papa Woods". Beyond building new progressive trails, the PGCC runs bi-weekly trail maintenance nights, and uses the rec site for events and club programs.
